In this book, children are guided to use markers or crayons as part of their prayer practice, making the act of praying more relatable and enjoyable. The concept emphasizes that even a minute of focused drawing can enhance their spiritual experience, helping them carry visual memories throughout the day. With a focus on techniques that blend art and religious expression, Praying in Color serves as a valuable tool for both kids and adults seeking to deepen their understanding of prayer and creativity.
Official synopsis Publisher
Now kids can pray in color, too!
This first-of-its-kind resource will forever change the way kids prayer – and how adults try to teach them to do it.
This is prayer that makes sense to kids. One minute a day will do. Any time of the day will work. Drawing with markers or crayons is h alf the prayer; the other half is carrying the visual memories throughout the day. Ages 5-11.
Praise for Praying in Color:
“Just as Julia Cameron, in the Artist’s Way, showed the hardened Harvard businessman he had a creative artist lurking within, MacBeth makes it astonishingly clear that anyone with a box of colors and some paper can have a conversation with God.”
